“What stands out to me is the variety in this year’s Vacation Rentals of the Year — from cool places with game rooms for kids to wine caves for grown-ups, at nightly rates ranging from $550 to $3,000. This list exemplifies the caliber of private vacation rentals across Vrbo,” said Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands. “What’s new and makes it even better is that when you book any of these properties, you earn OneKeyCash back that you can use on your next vacation. No other major player does that.”

Now in its third year, the Vacation Rentals of the Year highlight the most spectacular, private vacation rentals that represent a variety of popular vacation destinations and price points. The homes are selected from the more than 2 million properties worldwide on the Vrbo platform, based on criteria including having:

A 4.9 or higher star rating
Positive guest reviews
Standout amenities and spaces for spending time together with friends and family
Premier Host status

“Vrbo’s Premier Hosts go above and beyond to offer exceptional, reliable and relaxing guest experiences and are key to making a traveler’s vacation seamless,” said Tim Rosolio, VP of Partner Success, Vacation Rentals. “With the recent adjustment of our Premier Host criteria, we are ensuring that only the best partners receive the badging and are eligible for opportunities like Vacation Rentals of the Year. We have incredible partners on our platform, and with the Premier Host badging we’re sending a clear and compelling trust signal to travelers about where to find the best, and consistent experiences on Vrbo.”

Travelers that book on Vrbo can also save with One Key, the first loyalty program from a major online vacation rental platform. Guests can earn 2% in OneKeyCash on every eligible Vrbo booking — including any of the 2024 Vacation Rentals of the Year — that can be used toward future bookings on eligible Vrbo vacation rentals, or on Expedia and Hotels.com. For example, booking a one-week stay at any one of the Vacation Rentals of the Year could earn travelers a few hundred dollars in OneKeyCash, on average.

Riverwatch Brewery, Augusta, GA’s first brewery since the prohibition era is closing its doors

March 25, 2024

by Charleston Daily 0 Comments

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Augusta’s first brewery to open since the Prohibition era has announced it is closing its doors for good.

Riverwatch Brewery has been around for nine years, and it is time to say goodbye.

“We have really enjoyed being here. We have enjoyed serving our beer to folks from Augusta and around the world who come during the Masters,” said Brey Sloan, Owner of Riverwatch Brewery. “And that’s what I think I’m going to miss more than anything else: the people. Sitting, we have regulars who come all the time, but just getting to meet new people and talk to folks and find out about them.”

When she first opened the brewery, many told her Augusta would not let her, but she was told yes when she asked.

“The time was right. That public safety commission was just like, yup, this is okay with us. So, when we were actually able to open, it was very exciting. Augusta had not had one in 95 years,” said Sloan.

Even during COVID-19, although it was not the best time for business, they still brought customers joy by packaging special brews.

“We then made a wild fermentation IPA, which we called Joe Exotic. Then we made a white IPA, which we named White Tiger, and sold them as a three-pack. I mean, it was a lot of fun. We just had a good time with it, just because people were looking for something to do,” said Sloan.

Although people have fond memories of the brewery, It is time for it to close.

“It’s not getting the foot traffic we would like to see. We tried to move downtown. Because of Georgia Law, I have to make the beer in the same place that I serve it. So, I would need a big enough space to make the beer and have customers sitting,” said Sloan.

With things getting in the way, although she is sad to see the brewery go, Sloan says she knows it is time.

“After I retired from the army, I took a grand total of one month off, and then I went off the beer school. And then I came back and started this whole thing. So I’ve never really had a large break of retired time, so that might be the thing to focus on,” said Sloan.

Don’t worry — you still have time to visit. The official last day will be April 19th, their eighth anniversary.

Stanley Black & Decker closing U.S. plants in Fort Mill, South Carolina and Mission Texas

March 24, 2024

by Charleston Daily 0 Comments

Stanley Black & Decker, the world’s largest toolmaker, is closing up shop at two of its U.S. plants in a move expected to leave hundreds of employees without jobs as it transforms its manufacturing and distribution network.

The closings of its facility in Fort Mill, South Carolina, and manufacturing plant in Mission, Texas, is the latest move by the New Britain, Connecticut-based company in its ongoing global cost reduction program expected to save it billions of dollars by the end of 2025. Stanley Black & Decker already has saved $1 billion since it began streamlining its business and reshaping its operations more than a year ago, Chief Financial Officer Patrick Hallinan told investors during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call last month.

“We are on track to deliver our $2 billion pre-tax run-rate cost savings target by the end of 2025,” Hallinan said. “We achieved [about] $160 million pre-tax run-rate cost savings in the fourth quarter, bringing our aggregate savings to over $1 billion since program inception. This performance is slightly ahead of plan as our teams accelerated savings efforts to offset macroeconomic volume headwinds that were greater than expected throughout the year, including during the fourth quarter.”

Like other consumer- and professional-facing companies, Stanley Black & Decker’s bottom line has been hit by inflation, excess inventory built up during the pandemic and rising interest rates. The outdoor power equipment industry also continues to show signs of customers reducing their inventory, executives told investors, with no expectations that this segment will pivot to growth this year.

Stanley Black & Decker launched its global cost reduction program in mid-2022 that included plans to transform its manufacturing and distribution network from a “decentralized and inefficient system of sites built through years” to a strategically focused supply chain, according to the company’s annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in February. The plan includes site closures, transforming some existing sites into manufacturing centers of excellence and reworking its distribution network.

Stanley Black & Decker recorded net restructuring charges of $39 million in 2023, primarily related to severance and facility closures associated with the supply chain transformation. The company expects to achieve annual net cost savings of $45 million by the end of this year related to the restructuring costs incurred during 2023, according to the report.

Changing Footprint

When it comes to Stanley Black & Decker’s footprint transformation, they start with “an overarching strategy of finding ways to get closer to our customer,” President and CEO Don Allan said on the call. The company plans to keep developing “centers of excellence” for manufacturing tools throughout the world, Allan said.

The company had 50,500 employees in 59 countries at the end of 2023, with 36% of those workers in the United States, according to the annual report.

Stanley Black & Decker sent a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification letter to the Texas Workforce Commission last week that said it decided to transfer two “value streams” to other locations within the company after an enterprisewide assessment of its manufacturing and logistics network.

As a result, the company plans to permanently lay off about 127 workers at a roughly 270,000-square-foot industrial facility at 802 Trinity St. in Mission, Texas, near McAllen and the U.S.-Mexico border. About 96 employees are expected to be laid off between May 10 and May 27, with another 31 employees laid off by Aug. 2, according to the letter.

Last week, Stanley Black & Decker filed a similar letter with the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce notifying the state it planned to permanently lay off 192 workers and close its Fort Mill manufacturing plant before the end of the year. The South Carolina layoffs are also expected to begin May 10.

Stanley Black & Decker did not immediately respond to an interview request from CoStar News seeking additional information about its U.S. plant closures.

Previous Closings

Stanley Black & Decker closed other factories in Texas and South Carolina last year, resulting in a loss of around 360 jobs. Those plants were in Cheraw, South Carolina, and Fort Worth, Texas.

The toolmaker’s most recent planned closures in Texas and South Carolina come seven years after each facility was unveiled to the public. Stanley Black & Decker announced plans in 2017 to invest $31 million into a 345,000-square-foot manufacturing plant that would make and assemble DeWalt cordless power tools in Fort Mill and employ 500 workers.

That same year, the company announced it would open a nearly 300,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in South Texas that was expected to employ about 450 workers and make DeWalt power tool products.

This year is the 100th anniversary of the DeWalt brand, executives told investors on the earnings call, a milestone year and a reminder that “we have been revolutionizing job sites for a century.”

Joint Base Charleston honors those who performed heroic efforts during Afghanistan evacuation

March 23, 2024

by Charleston Daily 1 Comment

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. – More than 60 Airmen earned medals for their participation in Operation Allies Refuge (OAR) during a ceremony at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., March 21, 2024.

During OAR, U.S. military personnel, including these 64 Airmen, facilitated critical missions to safely evacuate U.S. citizens, Special Immigrant Visa applicants, and vulnerable Afghan nationals from Kabul, Afghanistan in 2021. The operation required swift action and coordination, highlighting the capabilities and readiness of the U.S. Armed Forces and their commitment to human safety and well-being.

During the ceremony, retired U.S. Air Force Col. Paul Eberhart, commended the recipients for their valor and actions during OAR, the largest non-combatant evacuation in American history.

“No matter what happens, you must always be prepared to answer the call when our nation needs to move people, equipment and supplies,” Eberhart said. “Each and every one of you is a national treasure, and I am exceedingly proud of the accomplishments being recognized here today. I’m very hopeful as we journey through an uncertain and unpredictable future, knowing that you continue to stay on watch and prepare for tomorrow’s unknown.”

The event was organized by the 437th Airlift Wing, in collaboration with the 628th Air Base Wing and 315th Airlift Wing, to formally recognize members from all three wings who deployed in support of the operation but had not yet received formal recognition for their valorous contributions.

More than 60 medals were awarded during the ceremony:

A Distinguished Flying Cross – awarded for heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight.

Thirty Air Medals with C-Device – recognizing meritorious achievement in aerial flight under combat conditions.

Seven Air Medals – bestowed for distinguished service in flight.

Fifteen Meritorious Service Medals – bestowed for non-combat outstanding service or achievement.

An Air and Space Commendation Medal – awarded for sustained acts of heroism or meritorious service.

Ten Air and Space Achievement Medals – recognizing significant accomplishments or service.

Captain Jonathan Wuerzburger, 15th Airlift Squadron C-17 Globemaster III pilot, played a pivotal role in the safety of crew members and passengers at Hamid Karzai airfield during the Afghanistan evacuation.

“To be recognized for the operations conducted in Afghanistan means a lot to me,” Wuerzburger said. “It wasn’t just one individual, unit, or career field. It was the combined efforts of everyone involved, including the families back home who carried the weight of their loved ones being gone and the uncertainty of their safety while this operation was conducted.”

The ceremony was a profound testament to the bravery, dedication, and hard work of the Airmen, whose contributions to OAR were crucial to the evacuation of over 120,000 Afghan citizens, allied partners, and U.S. citizens from Afghanistan.
